Abstract

In this article, the issues of improving the legal regulation of consumer rights protection of the digital market in the Russian Federation are considered, taking into account the analysis of foreign experience and recommendations of international organizations. Electronic commerce with the participation of consumers (B2C market segment) is developing at the fastest rates, and in some foreign countries it reaches 10-20% of the trade turnover. Meanwhile, a number of issues related to the protection of consumer rights of the digital market remain unresolved. The article examines the legal status of new participants in electronic commerce, for example, aggregators, including trade aggregators, aggregators of social networks, possible types of violations of consumer rights are analyzed and proposals on the need to regulate their rights and responsibilities in the digital market are submitted. If the aggregator in the field of
electronic commerce is allowed to conclude contracts with consumers, accept payments
from customers, transfer to the account of the seller, it must be a financial organization
under the control of the Bank of Russia, which by legal status will be close to a clearing organization and a central counterparty operating in the financial markets. With the advent of new types of digital markets, for example, 3-D printing markets, new objects of sale and purchase, including 3D (three-dimensional) drawings (models) that can not be qualified either as goods (services) as objects of civil rights , nor as a database or a computer program (Article 1261 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). They are complex objects - graphics solutions, enclosed in threedimensional designs, protected by copyright rules. The article analyzes the norms of Russian, foreign and international legislation, makes suggestions for improving the current legislation.
